Hi Jeff "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, any one can start from now and make a brand new ending." "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown May you always have an Angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days.

Hi Jeff, I read your post and I can relate. I am dying to go on the rides at amusement parks. You can bet I'll be there next year!! My surgery is 9/9. 3 days before yours. I will be thinking about you and praying for you to have a successful and uneventful surgery and a speedy, speedy recovery. Please keep us posted. **HUGS**

Hi Jeff, boy can I relate to your post! I'm 6'1" and weigh 376 lbs and I think little plastic chairs should be banned by international treaty much like poisen gas! One of the things I'm looking forward to is spending time at the water park with my boys (I've never done that!) and buy a pair of swim trunks. I couldn't tell you the last time I owned a pair! My surgery is Sept 23rd, so I'll be right behind you. Best of luck and here's wishing you a speedy recovery!
